THE YOUTH CORP AND THE VIRGIN

Episode 2

Titi sighted her and she said to me, “Please hide, and don’t let her see you.” I then hid behind the canteen and after about 15 minutes she left the place. Titi then came to meet me and said “sorry about it.” I then said. “Its’s okay, no sweat. Your mum is strict right?” She said. “No she’s not. I am preparing for JAMB exams and seeing me with a guy would upset her.” I then said to her. “Then why are you here working in the canteen? You should be attending lessons now.” She said, “my elder sister is not feeling too fine and she’s the one in charge of the canteen. Yesterday was my first day here.” I asked her. “What course do you intend to study?” She said. “Biochemistry.” I said to her. “I finished with a first class in Chemical Engineering. If you need any assistance I will be glad to help you.” She said. “Wow, that will be nice. I have a problem with chemistry and physics. You must be a genius.” I laughed and said. “No I am not, I just love to read my books a lot. It takes hard work and persistence to be successful. My dad is a professor and my mum is a Judge, they really encouraged me.” We finished cleaning up and I decided to walk her home which she agreed.

As we walked, we talked about our families and she opened up about the challenges she faced gaining admission, being the only child amongst her siblings privileged to attend higher institution. I was so bent in making her pass her JAMB and I promised her I would teach her through. I convinced her to tell her mum she needed to prepare for her exams and that she won’t be able to continue with the running of the canteen. The mum eventually succumbed and she got a replacement. I made an arrangement with Titi, for her to be coming to my place 4:00pm Mondays to Fridays and 1:000pm on Saturdays, which she agreed. My intentions were sincere, but with a little thoughts of side

attraction. In spite of being attracted to her, I wanted her more than anything to pass her JAMB exams this time around ....
